Saudi Arabia To Build World’s Most Luxurious Train Station In Just 4 Years

May 20, 2013

Commuters on London Underground will no doubt cast an envious eye at these pictures of what will shortly become the world’s most luxurious metro system.
Looking more like the inside of five-star hotel, the proposed network, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will boast a space age design featuring marbled walkways, gold-plated walls and, naturally in one of the hottest places on earth, air conditioning.
The facade will apparently be designed to let in light while keeping out the harsh desert sun, while the overall shape is meant to recall the country’s wind-blown sand dunes.


Amazingly, the new six-line network has been ordered to be completed by the ruling King Abdullah in just four years – the amount of time it took builders in New York to renovate just one station.
